Urinary Progesterone-Induced Blocking Factor Concentration Is Related to Pregnancy Outcome1

20 Oct 2004

Abstract excerpt

Peripheral lymphocytes from healthy pregnant women secrete a mediator protein named the progesterone-induced blocking factor (PIBF) that exerts an immunomodulatory function and contributes to the maintenance of pregnancy in mice. The gene coding for PIBF mRNA has been cloned and sequenced, and now the recombinant human protein is available. The aim of this study was to develop an ELISA test for determining PIBF...
